Sioux Cry, Ia., Nov: 22.-The first sur
prise made by the State in the case OF Arens-
dorf.t the brewer, for the murder Of Rev. Mr.
Ex-Superintendent of Water Works Robson
testified that Arensdorf left Junk's saloon
in company with the other defendants, and
that he saw him go west with the same
party to the scene of the murder She
watched them going that direction for over
100 feet The cross-examination did not
break the force Of the direct testimony. In
the former trial Arensdorf sought to estab-
lish an alibi by testimony that he cameout
of Junk's and went east from the scene of
the murder. Albert Koschnitzki was then
placed on the stand. He is known us sBis-
marck, and ID the man who was originally

INSIST On TEN PER CENT. DOWN.

With the re-opening of the mining
season, the irresponsible spectators
have again put in an appearance
here. This class of individuals al.
ways swarm in new mining districts,
and by tying up every promising
property that can be got hold of, re-
tard the development and sale, not
only of the properties that they sue
coed in bonding, but of entire dis
tricts. When a man who comes here
to buy mines does not have enough
ready cash to pay even his whisky
bills, he may be safely put down as OF
no good whatever to a new commu-
atty struggling for recognition in
quarters where merit is sought after
and appreciated.
One of these jim-crow operators
seems to have just succeeded at the
old game here. The second day after
his arrival here he tried to borrow
sums ranging from $50 down to S.
from old acquaintance. He did not
succeed, because they knew him too
well. One Of them, in fact, knew him
80 we'll that, if the capitalist" had
remained few days longer, he would
have had him arrested for stealing a
bracelet, in Ogden, three years ago,
worth several hundred dollars! Yet
this man succeeded, before he left, in
tying up three or four mines for 80
days, without paying out dollar.
This kind of business will not do.
If claim. owners are not more careful,
oil the available properties will soon
be tied up, and when, later in the
season. the crowds of wealthy invest
ors come, they will find absolutely
nothing to buy that they will care to
take hold of.
In bonding claims it is prudent and
Just for the claim-owner to receive
compensation for the tyingup of his
property. BY insisting on payment
of 10 per cent. Of the amount of the
purchase money, he gives the bender
an additional incentive to sell, while
he at the sane time receives some
compensation for the chances of sell
ing that he may lose by having his
property tied up. Then, if the tran
saction falls short of sale, he has at
least received some slight remunera-
ton for the damage to his claim by
having had it hawked about.

cIeanIng wooIena 3 Germany.

Experiments made in Germany on the
best method Of cleaning weolens have led
to the following conclusions: First, the
liquid used for Wishing must be as hot as
.pOssible; second, for theremoval of greasy
dirt, sweat, etc, borax is of so little value
that its application would be mere waste,
and, though soap lye is better, the prefer
ence must be given to soap I've with am
monia, mixture which works wonders
by quickly dissolving dirt in particular
parts which are hard to cleanse, raising
and sreyiving even bright colors; third,
that ON the other hand, for cleaning white
wooden goods there is nothing which even
approaches borax-soap I've and borax,
applied boiling hot, give to white woolens
q looseness and a dazzling whiteness
which they often do not possess when
they are new; fourth, if shrinking is to be
entirely avoided the drying must be &C
celebrated by repeatedly pressing the
woolens between soft cloths. In no case
should've woolens be dried in the sun, as
they become dry ard hard, they being best
dried in q moderate current of air, and in
cold weather In o warm place, but not too
near the source Of heat. In the above ex-
periments all the various degrees Of heat
were tried, from tue hottest to the coolest
temperature; all the favorite cleaning
materials were also employed soap,
bOrax, ammonia, loenzire and mixtures of
these. New York Sun.

The Decrease of Privacy.

It is O curious fact that while we tend
toward privacy in some ways we are drift
ting away from it in another. / can re-
member when in our coastwise steamboats,
state rooms were scanty and exceptional
provision, and even the most fastidious
expected to sleep in a common cabin BY
degrees the state room has become a COM
mon comfort. On the railway the same
Itendency is manifest; first the parlor car
as introduced for the sake of little pri-
kFacy; then the state rooms were intro
duced-and none too soon for comfort and
decency-into the sleeping car. All this
is based, not upon mere social distinc-
lions, as in the English system Of three
classes, each with it's own waiting room
and refreshment room, but upon that de-
sire for privacy which is nowhere more
legitimate or more needed than in re-
public Yet side by side with this goes on
an increasing invasion Of privacy by the
newspapers, SO that it almost becomes
necessary to ask each stranger at a pri-.
waite gathering, Are you q reportersn and
each new visitor at ones door, stAre you
an interyieWer?''- w. HI in Har-

Toughening Wood by Pressure.

A substitute for the hard lockwood
heretofore used for loom shuttles Is sought
in England by COMPRISING cheaper woods,
especially teak, in o powerful hydraulic
press. A force of fourteen tons per square
inch is applied. The Hub predicts that a
similar process will be used in toughening
cheaper woods for use in carriage work
where strength is required Ash carriage
poles, steamed and then compressed end
wise, are found to be far superior to those

A Wonderful Meteor.

A celestial phenomenon, which rivals
anything in the way of a meteoric fall
on record, occurred at Augusta, Me-,
on the evening of September 10Th, at
about 8 O'Clock. People i'll that section
who were out of doors were surprised to
see the heavens Illuminated as by light
ming save that the light was of a blush
tint. AS it was starlight, many thought
it was the discharge of fireworks, and
forgot all about it. The next morning,
however, after the arrival of trains
from the east, reports were circulated
that an immense meteor, larger than "a
railroad freight car, had fallen on the
land. of the New Brunswick railroad
six miles from Vanceboro, the termina-
ton of the Maine Central, on the line
between the province and that State.
Conductor Robert Fins, who was at
Vanceboro, reports that the stone is
buried deeply in the ground and pro-
Jects 10t feet into the air. 1t is of the
color Of burnt rock. When it fell it
was very hot. So intense was the heat
that people who approached to within
80 feet were driven away. Trainmen
from st. Johns, Calais and points along
the New Brunswick railway, also saw
the illumination. McAdam Junction
has a depot i'll which is a dining-room.
When the stone struck the jar was
plainly felt, dishes being shaken from
shelves. As the heat prevents a close
examination of the meteor, parties
have to be content with viewing it from
q distance. No damage vas done.
The extraordinary weight of this meteor
makes the event n of great interest.
The fact that it was seen in this city,
200 miles away, causing a brilliant il
Elimination, attests its immense size.

FARM NOTES.

CAREFUL TRANsPLANTTNo.--In
orcharding, careful planting and proper
preparation of the soil are to be relied
on as leading to ultimate success; thor
ough work In these are necessary to In
sure abundant returns and rewards.
This, probably, was not 30 essential in
the early practice OF pomology In this
country. Then we had q climate much
more moist and the elements, of plant
food and fruiting abundant almost to
excess. Nurseries were few and limi-
ted in extent; seedlings were the main
reliance, and the planter had only to
use his mattock in digging and prepar-
ing shallow places for the trees. His
young trees we're taken from M place
and Immediately planted In another, Or
they grew up accidentally anywhere
and received such shallow cultivation
as was then practiced, not only for
trees, but for the cereal and other crops.
The trees raised in this way were both
healthy and vigorous, and many at
tanned great size and great age. They
were generally set near buildings, where
they also had the advantage of the
extra food that abouuds about farm
houses. Thus we see the change Of
climate, and other circumstances at
tending the opening Of the country
and gradual exhaustion CT the virgin
soil, force as to manur and prepare
the soil in the best manner, SO as to
secure humus and moisture and give
u trees the food nature intended for
them.

AROUND BLANCo BAR.
A List Of tho Useful Plants Which
Grow In That Region.

Between many plants we found in
the vicinity of Blanco bay | will meI-
ton a few which, on account Of useful
ness, are already, and will be still more,
Of very great importance. Between
these plants the first place belongs to
the wild date or datilillo tree yucca
Scottii), a tall tree, occasionally forty
and fifty feet high.
Datilillo looks sometimes like a palmet-
to, but has narrow long and very sharp
leaves. The stem is very fibrous, and
excellent from which to prepare paper,
cordage, mating. etc. The London
Telegraph is printed on the paper manu-
featured out of the fiber of lower Cali
fornia wild date. 1t grows in abund-
ance south of San Quentin and Rosario
valleys.
Candle wood tree (fuguiera %gigantea),
remarkable plant. 1t presents a very
singular appearance in a desert, some
times growing straight like an arrow,
sometimes inclined in all possible posi-
tons, or bent in most fantastic forms.
The leaves are very small, the bark
white and it is covered with long twigs.
The stem contains pith, which is eaten
by cattle. In the hollow trunks of this
remarkable plant swarms of wild bees
find their abode. Here l must remark
that the bees were unknown before on
the peninsula. They came from upper
California, and now they are every
where, honey being used by the Next
cans instead of sugar for tea or coffee.
The candlewood tree is also very hbrous
and can be used in the same manner as
datilillo.
The third remarkable plant is maguey
OF agave shawl. 1t belongs to the
family of the century plants, and it
grows everywhere from San Diego to
San Lucas. 1t forms q beautiful object
in the desert, with its dark green leaves
and splendid yellow flowers. 1t has
also fibrous' qualities; besides, out OF
this plant is prepared the celebrated
Mexican beverage-mescal.
Though the country in the vicinity OF
Bianco bay is very rich in flora, yet
there is a perfect absence Of animal life,
and a perfect silence reigns there SUI
preme. The only living creature that
seems 10 thrive there is the trap door
spider, occasionally though wrongfully
called tarantula. This ri pdoor spider,
cteniza California, is only half as large
as the t~arantula, but belongs to the
same family of mygalida. 1t inhabits
the underground holes or tubes, provided
with very ingeniously constructed trap
doors. The nets 1 found near Blanco
bay were about a half dozen in number,
and dug OH level ground, but as Il could
see all Of these tubes were abandoned.

DR.. William James OF Harvard Uni
versity, has made sorne experiments to
test the modern theory that the SEMI
circular canals, instead of beng con
nected with the sense OF hearing, serve
to convey the feeling CT movement of
the head through space, which, when
intensified, becomes dizziness. 1t
occurred to him that deaf mutes,
having their a~uricular organs injured,
might afford some confederation f the
thesvy, if it were true, by showing a
smaller susceptibility to dizziness than
persons with normal hearing. OF $40
deaf mutes examined by subjecting
them to rapid whirling, 1S0 were wholly
unacceptable of being made dizzy, l34
were made dizzy in a very slight degree,
and 100 were normally, and IN a few
cases abnormally, sensitive. Nearly
200 students and instructors in Harvard
College supposed to have normal hear
ing, were examined for purposes of
comparison, and but a single one
proved exempt from vertigo.

Flashes of Humanity.

Mrs. Y. is a brilliant Boston woman
OF abundant executive ability, shrewd
wit, and delightful hospitality. The
exigencies of her husbands business
led to the keeping up of an establish
ment in the West, where Mrs. Y. passes
some months of the year, and where
she entertains a great many people.
One day there was b. ought to Mrs. Y.
the card of an English gentleman, ac-
companied by a letter of introduction
from friends of the Y.'s abroad. The
hostess went downstairs and greeted
the guest cordially.
I'VE are so accustomed to travellers
here" she said, that We know just
what to do with them. We expect
everybody to arrive travel-stained and
exhausted, and we let everybody take a
bath the first thing. L spoke to the
servant before l came down, and every
thing is all ready"
"But," stammered the stranger, 81
lean not think of putting you to SO
lnuch trouble. T."
. "Oh.I know Just how you feel" in
thrrupfedMrs Y. "A bath is the only
thing that restores me TO my normal
condition when I've been travelling,
apd o have come right through from
Boston"
The guest demurred, but Mrs. Y.
was too executive, and too truly bospi-
table to allow his ~scruples to prevent
the carrying out of her kindly intent.
The Englishman was shown up stairs
to the bathroom, where it is to be pre-
sumed he combined with the progress
of his toilet reflections upon the origin
atty and practically of American hos
pitality.
In due time the guest descended
again to the parlor, where Mrs. Y.
awaited him.
81 hope you found everything to your
mind" she said.
ooh, yes" he replied, 81 have had a
delightful bath; and now l must bid
you good-afternoon, as L have to catch
q train"
"What?" cried his hostess. aghast.
"You are not goingl"
UNFORTUNATELY l must. 1 only stop
ped over a train to call or YEA.
'.MercyIn she exclaimed, in dismay.
II thought you had come to remain.
You certainly cannot go away when |
haven't seen you at all?"
II really must" was the reply; ''but
1 assure you l have had a most refresh
ing bath, and l shall always remember
with sincere pleasure your unique hos
pitality."
The story was too good to keep and
Mrs. Y. told it at her own expense.

III. p. Delahaye has instituted a
comparison of the relative merits of
compressed air and electricity as a
motive force for machines In mines.
For long distances he says the latter
has the advantage, and the plant re-
quired and the expense Of maintenance
are less than In the case Of compressed
air. In the coal mines Of Zankerode
and Opel, in Saxony, electricity has
for some time been employed to work a
ventilating fan and draw trains of coal.
The fan is distant from the machine
which generates the electricity about
$500 feet, and there is an available
force Of 40 per cent. To work the
